Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Brookmans Park
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are leaking joints at party walls and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Brookmans Park may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Brookmans Park can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Brookmans Park questions
I let a flat near Brookmans Park station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brookmans Park?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Why act early in Brookmans Park
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Brookmans Park, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us

- More than 20 years surveying roofs

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Landlord roof surveys in Brookmans Park: local notes
Historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor, about 1.8 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Brookmans Park goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near United Reformed Church Brookmans Park, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building like Chancellor's School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Brookmans Park station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
